MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney) cells are derived from distal tubules, whereas LLC-PKi are from proximal tubes. b BMEC (brain microvessel endothelial cells) are isolated from capillaries. BPAEC (bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells), BAEC (bovine aortic endothelial cells), and HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) are large vessel endothelia.

The rather time- and cost-expensive preparation of primary brain microvessel endothelial cells, as well as the limited number of experiments which can be performed with intact brain capillaries, has led to an attempt to predict the blood-brain barrier permeability of new chemical entities in silico. Artificial neural networks have been developed to predict the ratios of the steady-state concentrations of drugs in the brain to those of the blood from their structural parameters [117, 118]. A summary of the current efforts is given in Chap. 25. Quantitative structure-property relationship models based on in vivo blood-brain permeation data and systematic variable selection methods led to success rates of prediction of over 80% for barrier permeant and nonper-meant compounds, thus offering a tool for virtual screening of substances of interest [119].

Numerous modifications of in vitro culture systems have been developed for the estimation of BBB transfer [52]. Culture systems in use are either primary cultures of brain microvessel endothelial cells (BMEC) or immortalized endothelial cell hues. BMEC may be grown in co-culture with astrocytes or in astrocyte-conditioned medium. Astrocyte-derived factors increase the tightness of the barrier as measured by transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and by the permeability of hydrophUic markers such as sucrose. They also up-regulate the expression of BBB-enriched enzymes such as y-glutamyl transpeptidase (y-GTP) and alkaline phosphatase. A setup of the in vitro technique in a transwell system for transport studies is depicted in Figure 2.5.
